Man faints in delivery room - Myth or reality?

So I've heard some men actually faint while their lady is giving birth in the delivery room. I actually saw a video a few minutes ago of a guy passing out as his wife gave birth on America's Funniest Videos, but for the life of me I can't find it online.

So anyone know of this happening to anyone in real life? My SO has threatened to faint during my labor, and I've threatened to murder him if he does. If I have to pass something the size of a small watermelon through 'down there', he can stand the sight of a little blood!

When I was pregnant with my oldest daughter...I was at a paranatologist appointment at the hospital which is located in labor and delivery. Over the loud speaker it came across as code blue:labor and delivery....my doctor ran out of the room. A few minutes later he came back cursing...he told everyone that all the babies were okay and that it was just some husband who fainted during delivery.

"When you ripped, I saw your rectum." lmao!!! That reminds me of my dh, dad, and fil all grouped around the monitors going, " Oh wow! Look how big that contraction is! That's the biggest yet! Did it feel like the biggest one? Oh look! Here comes another one!!!" You do realize all those cute waves equal pain for me, right? Not helping gentlemen...not helping.
